Their Starting Pitching is absurd.

Zimmerman 2.45era
Strasburg 2.97era
Detwiler 2.99era
Gonzales 3.34era
Jackson 3.56era

Someone on here mentioned that ESPN compared them to our 2010 rotation. That August/September run our starters pulled off was historic something like 18 straight games of 3runs or less.

I'm really interested to see how we match up against them next week. Especially with Pablo back and with Pagan waking up from his 3 month sleep.

Bring m on, Pence is starting to hit and the Panda usualy starts out hot before going into a funk because of his layoff.

I'd take our 5 and lineup anyway over theirs.

no way do those numbers hold. They will become more inflated down the stretch. They do not match up to 2010. When they win the series then they can say that.

I don't think there's any arguing they're the best team in the NL - right now.

There's still 50 games left so who knows.

We'll get a good idea when they visit AT&T, but they handled us with ease in their own ballpark.

I can only hope we see Edwin Jackson in the playoffs.

I don't care how good his numbers look, he's a gas can.

They're scary good....... But I like our lineup better...... I haven't had a chance to see how their BP stacks up against ours though!

-RIP-

Isn't Strasbourg gonna be shut down soon?

Only pitcher of theirs that scares me is Zimmerman. But hope they make the playoffs; that MTL/WSH franchise has never made it, right?

The Expos did in 1981, and the Senators won the WS once, played in it 3 times. Once, they were beat by the Giants.

"general manager Mike Rizzo has said he wouldn't pitch the entire season, playoffs or not. The team is not willing to risk Strasburg's future in his first full season after 2010 Tommy John surgery."

just saying

"and the Senators won the WS once"

I am not sure but aren't the all Senators the Mariners now....

first Senators are now the Twins, and the other Senators are the Rangers

And I thought Minnesota was bad with hockey franchises.

I was trying to update because I remember Harmon Killebrew as a Senator and Twins player.

that's right, '81

that team should still be in MTL. Damnned 94 strike. We could be going to road games in NA's funnest city, then getting $9 full contact lapdances afterwards from gorgeous Quebec girls

U can touch all u want there. No kidding

well, not in certain places but still
